Review title of SEGA MIKOutward, onwards and beyond!

Outward is a bit like the classic european RPG's such as Risen and Gothic IV but what sets this apart from they are the added real world survival elements which add a whole lot of depth and fun! The survival side is interesting and easy to pick up thanks to the tutorial and to it's credit it is not as mundane as Kingdom Come Deliverance. Setting up your first fire and sleeping bag once you go Outward is as easy as it sounds, just pray the nasties don't bite when it gets dark. 😀
It's early days yet but so far it's spot on. Sure the world graphics as you may of seen are sat somewhere between XBOX360 and the present but it makes up for that in it's charm and character. It's a proper gamers game any way, one for those that like to pause and think and one that rewards when you get it right. Have fun!
PS. Can't find pre-order dlc? If you know it's downloaded under Manage Game & Add-ons, your find it in your bag. Use the triggers to move the left side bag "tabs" up and down. 🙂

Review title of SuperShroomsUnder-rated gem written all over this

This game was only made by 8-10 people. They poured their hearts into this. These are the dev teams we should be supporting. Instead of buying in to EA and Ubisoft's regurgitated nonsense that's riddled with micro-transactions. Imagine what this team (Nine Dots Studio) could achieve with a bigger team and budget? Outward has it's problems but what games don't these days? It has a slow start but stick with it, it will surprise you. A very classic RPG feel to it and has Souls-like combat difficulty with survival elements like eating, drinking and sleeping. Falls under the newly labelled euro-jank genre for sure but guess which other franchise started off like this? THE WITCHER! and now it's considered one of the best games ever made. Support these devs. I'll buy this game on Nintendo Switch too if it gets released on that platform. It also has online co-op and classic splitscreen couch co-op! Everyone is playing Sekiro right now but the realest OG's are playing Outward 😎

Review title of StockillionVery fun !

Ok this game is Not fast and your not overpowed. Think dark souls meets monster hunter.
The game looks good, not amazing but dont think thats a bad thing. What it lacks in looks it makes up for in story and gameplay.
Co-op is Really fun and if you have ever played Kenshi then get this.

Review title of FethelHighly recommended

One of the best rpg's I've played. Can seem a little unforgiving at start, but as you learn the systems and develop your playstyle the game really starts to shine.
Very immersive and hugely rewarding. More like this in the games industry please.
Thanks to the devs and well done. Great product.

Review title of I SavathunA must buy RPG for a great price 10/10

Such an amazing game full of charm, the start is punishing as you get to grips with the core mechanics (combat, survival etc) but i've rarely played a game that you feel such growth in skill and character development, character creation is a little goofy but the fact that this game was created by less than 10 people impresses me beyond belief! Best new game i have played for a long time for a very pleasing price!

Review title of JALARA RPG fans delight!

I deliberated for some time over buying this but, finally did. It is a cracking game. Pretty in its own right; combat is fairly basic but, both fun and serviceable.
It's been said multiple times in online reviews but, to echo, this is a really immersive and engrossing RPG gem. For lovers of this genre, I would not hesitate to recommend.

Review title of EldraziSuper Enjoyable

Not played much so far (maybe about 4 hours?) but had a lot of fun with this so far, some of the things (combat etc) take some getting used to, and the enemies are tough (within minutes of leaving the starting village I got beaten up by random people), but I love how all of it links together in a story solely for your character. Everything you do links together in ways only for you, which I find awesome :)

Review title of C0RNI5HA hidden (but very rough) gem .....

Almost everything about this game is of a bad quality, graphics BAD, animations BAD, sound BAD, character customisation BAD, combat BAD, story BAD........but, and a big big BUT, there is a certain charm to the game that keeps me playing and wanting to push forward. It has an almost old school RPG vibe to it that is unforgiving in its nature and does not hold your hand. The game is definitely not a 5 star game regardless if you are an avid rpg fan or not (there are just to many flaws) ..but as hard work and as rough as the game is ........ I cant stop playing and i am enjoying it 🤔
